There are ways you can set up a smart home without subscriptions, for instance using Home Assistant. But most people somehow chose to be stuck in these cloud apps with subscriptions. Ring, with a subscription for a doorbell, is wild to me.
I'm curious: the USA wants to dominate the final frontier, how will they ensure a civilization can thrive without woman in those new settlements?
Anyways, the idea is horrific and stupid, let's hope the US implodes.
That's bad and all, but: They are using Signal?!
Wouldn't that need another change in 4 years time, if Trump manages to get two consecutive terms himself? (For argument sake, regardless of his age).
How is the company fucking me, if I enjoy playing the game and get my money's worth?
Perhaps Linux isn't the right operating system, but it's competing with Windows, which is more or less a jack of all trades. Linux today isn't a jack of all trades, mostly a niche solution. That is fine, but we can then not pretend it's for everyone.
Meanwhile, I'll keep trying with Linux, hoping one day it will be the jack of all trades and I can seamlessly use it.
Just pointing why it's not as easy. People don't want to go cry at game devs/companies that Linux is not supported. They just want a plug and play solution. It's like telling people to buy a different brand of car, but they cannot use it on the same roads they usually drive and then say: "go cry to get that resolved". No, I'm not going to take a different route home, I will just use the car that makes my life easier.
This, if the so called Tesla fans even drive the car, they know all of the above is more or less true. Newer cars have fewer of these issues, but the camera based Auto Pilot system is still in place. The car doesn't even allow you to use cruise control under certain circumstances, because the car deems visibility too poor. The camera also only detects rain when its pouring, every other situation it will just randomly engage/disengage.
I drive a Tesla Model 3 (2024) daily and I wouldn't trust the car driving itself towards a picture like that. It would be an interesting experiment to have these "Tesla Fans" do the same experiment and use a concrete wall for some additional fun. I bet they won't even conduct the experiment, because they know the car won't detect the wall.
The problem is that Linux is only ready in certain cases. For me, it isn't there yet, because I can't use it for my gaming machine. Every time this is brought up, Linux enthusiast shrug it off as "no big deal", you can game on Linux, just the games that use kernel level anti-cheat won't work. Well yeah, that's a bit the issue, I still like to play some of those games you see?
Meanwhile, I have Linux Mint running on a laptop that I bring on vacation. I don't game on that one. Then Linux works just as well as any other OS, no issue.
It's an Alfa, "Break" might be the correct terminology /s
Joke of course, I love Alfa's!
I'd probably be all right, Tyria looks nice this time of year. At least as long as the Charr play along.
I'm just in awe about those 28% and 33% tax brackets. I'm in the 49,5% bracket here in The Netherlands. That being said, I'm fortunate to be in it.
Is it that simple? Because in my situation it wasn't, I wasn't driving very fast and the situation changed quickly. I was just cruising and following the car in front of me that I could see, but as the fog quickly got thicker, the car in front of me had to emergency brake, and as did I. My car detected that quicker than I did, for which I'm grateful.
There are plenty examples of religious leaders raping and killing children and other offenses. But I guess they are above it all then?
This reads like the post Brexit articles. What do people expect to happen when they vote for something?
Exactly, my previous car (BMW) once saved me in the fog by emergency braking for something I wasn't able to see yet. My current car (Tesla) shuts down almost all safety features when the camera's can't see anything, so I doubt it will help me in such situations. The only time my Tesla works well is in perfect conditions, but I don't live in California.
Want to setup a more privacy friendly solution?
Have a look at Home Assistant! It’s a great open source smart home platform that recently released a local (so not processing requests in the cloud) voice assistant. It’s pretty neat!
Canine together, strong!
Well, I guess you’re all satisfied, it seems to be guaranteed /s
So if I understand it correctly, there is literally nothing stopping anyone in the US to start such a party and participate. The only thing is that the party might not accumulate enough votes to be of relevance. It might be worth a shot if there is sufficient momentum (which currently there seems to be from my arm chair point of view).
